AMD Preps More Graphics Driver Code For Linux 7.1

Written by Michael Larabel in Radeon on 16 March 2026 at 06:05 AM EDT. 11 Comments
Last week yet more AMDGPU kernel graphics driver updates were submitted to DRM-Next ahead of the Linux 7.1 merge window happening in April.

Following various AMDGPU and AMDKFD updates for Linux 7.1 that were sent to DRM-Next earlier this month, more feature code is now ready. This latest round includes a number of fixes, updates for the new AMD GFX/GC 12.1 target as a new RDNA4 variant, various IP discovery updates, Display Core Next 4.2 updates, PSP 15 updates, other new AMD IP block updates for upcoming hardware. LSDMA 7.1 IP is also being enabled for the first time.

Also notable with this new pull is having the code for enabling NV12/P010 support on primary planes and enabling color encoding and color ranges on overlay planes. That is part of the Claude Code AI assisted color management improvements for AMD on Linux that were recently discussed on Phoronix.

The full list of patches added to the queue for Linux 7.1 on the AMDGPU/AMDKFD side can be found via this pull request.
